Bro your office and surrounding views are absolutely stunning.

[roadstermane]

Your coding environment is absolutely beautiful, wish everyone can work like you ❤ You motivation is always never ending and your content is so entertaining with the tech and vlog you share with us

[rbsd]

You have to love what you do to enjoy it!! Love this Brian!! Always look forward to your videos. 🔥🔥👌🏾

[DphNught]

It's nice to see people enjoying the flexibility of working instead of being confined to one space for multiple hours of the day.

[nguhelon]

Yes I enjoy when you move around and show the office, adding up some scenes were you code (especially those outdoors), it is just so refreshing. Looking forward for another day in the life video!

[atlaskaiser]

Keep it up, my man, you are living the dream life of many of us solo tech hustlers, so kind from you to share !

Thank you for this video! Coming from someone that starting to learn programming, I appreciate your perspective. I know its not as easy as it looks with all these videos on yt but it shows what you can have if you work hard. Thank you!

As an introvert, I chose a freelance programming job for these benefits, and I am so happy coding while listening to my favorite K-pop music, solving problems, and working anywhere, even while traveling😊

[sadatmoya]

definitely have always been enjoying watching your vlog videos, they are amazing and sometimes when i have had a break down in my projects i come and check out your videos to boost my morale in programming, one thing i have learnt for sure is that, if you keep on changing your positions on where you code, your productivity rate increases

[GuRuGeorge]

I still remember starting as a software engineer and enjoying all the things you mention. Then at some point you get promoted to senior developer and eventually you get used to it. Everything, the compensation, the benefits, the tasks, the teammates, policits etc. And then at some point you start wanting more, but compared to when you started, it gets increasingly harder to get more. Jumping from 0 to 2500 € a month is like a jackpot, but going from 2500 to 4000 feels almost like nothing even though you worked so hard for it. I got promoted to lead developer recently and yes it is nice and all. Good compensation bump but essentially it's not really much different, just more official and something I can put on my linked in. don't get me wrong, I still enjoy my job and it's 1 million times better than most other jobs, but I already feel kinda sad knowing, that I will most likely never experience my job like I used to in the first couple of years.

You're awesome! Your working environment looks SOO gorgeous! I would LOVE to go to work every day!

One thing i have to highlight i also love about being a software engineer/solution architect: The sheer number of different tasks and the infinite knowledge you can accumulate.
I usually spend around 4 hours a day having all kinds of different meetings like tech plannings with other software engineers, product plannings with the project management, process optimizations with the agile coaches, architectural plannings with the other solution architects ... The list goes on.
Besides that, i then also use a few specific "focus time" hours a day for writing code, implementing infrastructure or cloud components etc.
There are also a million things you could specialize on, or be insane like me and try to learn everything :D

Thank you for putting audio voice it is easier to follow the video then with subtitles 👌🏻 I like this type of videos of yours! Thank you for sharing your opinion about tech, I am not even working in this area, but seems pretty trendy and interesting! Waiting for new content :)

[ella_preppy]

Always so nice when you post your videos always makes my day!! Keep it up Brian much love right here from Houston 🔥🔥

[krishnavamsi]

Really like the aesthetics of this videos. Every thing is very minimal yet appealing. Looking forward for more

[Peighter]

Throughly enjoyed this Brian, but also I just have to say, your thumbnails are just soooo beautiful to look at. You’re doing amazing🫶🏾

[lakeras.]

The aesthetics of your videos are so soothing. Thanks for the content!

[AllMyWorldd]

Hey! Thanks so much for sharing this video. It seriously motivated me to keep going on my journey to becoming a software engineer.

[ByronWrightJr]

I love that I came across this video because I have seen so many YouTube videos from current or former software engineers that talk about how people should not be software engineers. As someone who is learning and wanting to be a software engineer in the future it caused me to question if I should even want to do it. After sometime I finally realized that some people don't like the job, which is fine but I am concert on my decision that I do want to be a software engineer and this just showed me that I am on the right path.
